Presentation
Building on the success of the original MPC Live, Akai Professional's MPC Live II is a complete standalone music production workstation with a built-in sampler and sequencer, a 7-inch touchscreen, 16 RGB backlit velocity-sensitive pads, and 4 endless "Q-Link" encoder knobs.
MPC Live 2 now features a built-in dual tweeter/woofer monitoring system, allowing you to work anywhere (with or without headphones), and four 3.5mm stereo TRS mini jack CV/Gate connectors are there to interface with your favorite analog synthesizers, drum machines, and Eurorack modules.
MPC 2.8 software has been updated for full MIDI Multi control, allowing you to command all your studio gear. Connect and route all the MIDI gear in your studio simultaneously, including compatible USB keyboards, MIDI interfaces, and USB-to-CV modules. Combine all of this with deep internal MIDI routing between tracks, full MIDI routing to any MIDI-compatible synthesizer, drum machine or sound module, and even multitrack recording capability.
MPC Live 2 features a powerful quad-core ARM Cortex processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage to power MPC 2.8 software without the need to connect to a host computer. Additionally, the unit can operate in controller mode, further expanding functionality by connecting to a computer to run the same standalone MPC 2.8 software as a plugin in your favorite DAW.
MPC 2.8 software has powerful features including audio track recording, real-time time stretching (audio distortion), pitch shifting, audio and MIDI drag and drop, program mode for launching clips, an updated mixer with advanced signal routing and enhanced Q-Link control.
The MPC Live 2 includes 16GB of internal MicroSD memory, a built-in SD card slot, and a 2.5-inch SATA drive bay for adding your own SSD or HDD for instant access to your own sample libraries.

Exit versions 2.8 and 2.9, make way for the new MPC OS 3.0!
Far from being a simple update, the move to MPC OS 3.0 transforms your MPC Live 2 into an even more formidable machine. The interface has been seriously polished, with a redesigned "Main Mode" that lets you navigate between your tracks as if you were at the controls of an ultra-responsive spaceship. Add to that the new linear arranger that transforms your workflow into a true conveyor belt of creativity, and you get an MPC that no longer just follows the rhythm, but imposes it.
Don't leave, that's not all!
Thanks to the arrival of the Native Instruments MPC Play Edition Plugins, your faithful production companion opens up to a range of instruments redesigned especially for the MPC ecosystem. Whether you’re a fan of atmospheric pads, hypnotic arpeggios or bass that hits like an 808 on steroids, you’ll definitely find something to feed your compositions with inspired and inspiring sounds.
But beware, wonders come at a price: these extensions are paid, because even creativity needs a little financial boost.
So, are you ready to give a new dimension to your MPC Live 2?

J’ai déjà eu un bug conséquent. Un problème audio interne j’espère que ce n’est pas annonciateur d’une grosse future panne donc je reste pour l’instant méfiant

J avais déjà la MPC one, une 5000 et une 500 mais le côté nomade de la live 2 et le bon en avant incroyable qu offre la nouvelle génération de MPC fait que cette instrument se suffit entièrement a lui même c est un studio professionnel complet dans une boîte magique , pas de bug pas de bruit ou de comportement suspect .c est le genre de machine sur laquelle tu peux compter pour te produire en live&direct, le couteau suisse ultime pour beatmaker ... MPC JE T AIME DEPUIS TOUJOURS MAIS Depuis ton nouveau lifting je t idolâtre! tu es et tu resteras pour toujours et a jamais le grand amour de ma vie. Le coeur battant de mon studio, le cerveau qui contrôle l ensemble de ma collection de machine a bruit. Le coeur dur qui fait vibrer mes Z'oreille? MPC je cris ton noms

Je suis débutant sur ce genre de matériel et j’ai très vite acquis mes premières marques.
La qualité de fabrication est élevée, le gros plus réside pour moi dans le fait qu’elle soit nomade. Je fais du portablism donc c’est impeccable.
